Introduction: Lesions which make the jaws swell are comparatively more common in the developing world than they are elsewhere. Apart from trauma, the jaws can swell as the result of conditions which include: (1) Infection: an alveolar abscess, a dental sinus which is sometimes misdiagnosed as an early jaw tumour, and osteomyelitis (2)cysts (3) Tumours: Burkitt's lymphoma, ameloblastoma, carcinoma, salivary tumours, and giant cell tumours (4) A complex group of fibro-osseous lesion. Case Report: A 16-year-old female patient presented to outpatient department with chief complaints of right sided cheek swelling for past four months which was bony hard, non-tender and fixed. The CT Alveolus region revealed a large expansile lytic lesion in right posterior region of mandible with severe thinning of cortex with multiple areas of cortical break without evidence of soft tissue infiltration arising possibility of Dentigerous cyst. Right hemimandibulectomy with plating was done and specimen was sent for histopathological examination which revealed swelling as Ameloblastoma-Unicystic variant. Conclusion: Ameloblastomas are most common neoplasm of Odontogenic origin. They usually occur in 3rd to 5th decade, rarely in children and elderly. Mostly occurs in posterior region of Mandible. Ameloblastomas are locally invasive tumors and do not metastasize. Ameloblastomas are slow growing and asymptomatic leading to facial deformity and jaw expansion. Wide surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Ameloblastic fibroma is an uncommon mixed neoplasm of odontogenic origin with a relative frequency between 1.5 – 4.5%. It can occur either in the mandible or maxilla, but predominantly seen in the posterior region of the mandible. It occurs in the first two decades of life. Most of the times it is associated with tooth enclosure, causing a delay in eruption or altering the dental eruption sequence. The common clinical manifestation is a slow growing painless swelling and is detected during routine radiographic examination. There is controversy in the mode of treatment, whether conservative or aggressive. Here we reported a 38 year old male patient referred for evaluation of painless swelling on the right posterior region of the mandible associated with clinically missing 3rd molar. The lesion was completely enucleated under general anesthesia along with the extraction of impacted molar.

AbstractThe present study is a case report of vulvar lipoma. The vulva is a rare site for the development of lipomas, and the aim of the study is to determine if the current imaging modalities can diagnose lipomas correctly. A 43-year-old patient presented with a painless, slowly progressive, oval, mobile and non-tender right vulvar mass compressing the vagina and totally covering the introitus. Both the ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams suggested the diagnosis of lipoma. Surgical excision was performed, and the histopathological examination of the mass confirmed a lipoma.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a well-bordered, slow-growing, benign fibro-osseous disease. Although its localization is generally in the mandible, it can be seen in any area of the craniofacial region. Radiology and histopathology help to diagnose the condition. Treatment is based on close observation and/or surgical excision. In this case, we report the case of a 62-year-old male patient who had a large radiological appearance, cemento-ossifying fibroma in the paranasal sinuses.

ABSTRACTHuman coenurosis is a rare zoonotic disease caused by the larvae of Tinea multiceps seen in sheep-rearing countries. We report the case of a 63-year-old male who was referred to our hospital with a working diagnosis of skull base chondrosarcoma. Histopathological examination after surgical excision revealed characteristic feature of coenurus with multiple scolices invaginating from the outer cuticular layer. Coenuri are often mistaken for giant cysticercal cysts and hydatid cysts. Despite its wide prevalence in cattle, only two cases of human coenurosis are reported from India till date. We report the third case from India.

Neurenteric cysts account for 0.7-1.3% of spinal axis tumors. These uncommon lesions results from the inappropriate partitioning of the embryonic notochordal plate and presumptive endoderm during the third week of human development. Heterotopic nests of epithelium reminiscent of gastrointestinal and respiratory tissue lead to eventual formation of compressive cystic lesions of the pediatric and adult spine. We report a 40-year-old male  presenting with slow-progressive myelopathic manifestation and ovoid non-enhancing cysticintradural extramedullary lesion at C7 level on MRI, mimicking intraspinal arachnoid cyst, who underwent successful surgical excision. The histopathological examination prove it to be neurenteric cyst.

Introduction: Hemangiopericytoma is a mesenchymal tumour originating from pericytes surrounding the capillary vessels. The etiology of this tumour is still unknown. It may be located in any part of the human body. The most common sites are pelvis and lower limbs and less often it occurs in the head and neck. The characteristic signs of hemangiopericytoma are slow growth regardless of the malignancy level and high vascularity. Surgical excision of the tumour with additional radiotherapy is the treatment of choice. Case report: A symptom presentation and diagnostic-therapeutic process in a 71-year-old woman admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology of the Medical University of Warsaw due to increasing bilateral nasal obstruction and dysphagia is herein described. Diagnostic imaging showed highly vascularized tumour in the parapharyngeal space also obstructing the left side of the nasopharynx. After evaluation, tumour resection from the external approach was planned and performed, followed by an uncomplicated postoperative course. Histopathological examination revealed hemangiopericytoma. The patient was qualified for adjuvant radiotherapy. She stays under observation with no signs of recurrence since surgery. Conclusions: Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumour with a wide variety of clinical presentations and a relapse-free survival that is difficult to predict. Long-lasting asymptomatic tumour growth results in late diagnosis. Imaging and primarily, histopathological examination are fundamental for the diagnostic process. The best outcome is observed after radical surgical treatment. In order to reduce the risk of recurrence, additional radiotherapy is advised. Local recurrence may appear years after finished treatment, therefore long-term follow-up is essential.

In this paper, we present a case of an uncommon and slow-growing tumor known as a central odontogenic fibroma (COF). The patient in question is a 53-year-old African-American man who was referred for periodontal evaluation of asymptomatic space formation between the mandibular central incisors. Clinical and radiological evaluations disclosed tumor-like tissue expanding the alveolar ridge in the buccolingual dimension, along with thinning of the cortical plates. Surgical excision was performed, and the specimen was sent for histopathology, which later confirmed that the lesion was a COF. Periodontal regenerative therapy was performed to rebuild the hard and soft tissue that had been compromised as a result of tumor expansion. The site was grafted, with excellent results.

History Of

The separation of the follicle from around the crown of an unerupted tooth causes formation of dentigerous cyst. It may undergo metaplasia in several cases. In this case a 30 year old female patient reported with a history of dentigerous cyst with respect to impacted 48. The swelling started growing gradually causing facial asymmetry. On intraoral examination the swelling seem to extend from 48 to 46 region and cortical plates were expanded. The histopathological examination revealed the sample to be cystic ameloblastoma (mural variety). This paper sends a message that the potential of a cyst should never be understated, instead it must be kept in an observation or understanding the biological behavior over a course of time.

Introduction: Trichilemmal cysts (TCs) are common skin lesions that occur in hairy areas. A TC involving a fingertip has not been previously described in the literature. We herein report a case of a TC occupying a fingertip region. Case presentation: A 43-year-old woman presented with a 1.5 × 1.5 cm nodular lesion on the third fingertip. The lesion was completely excised, and histopathological examination revealed a TC. Conclusion: TCs may involve atypical locations, such as fingertips, where there are no hair follicles. After surgical excision, a careful histopathological examination should be performed to differentiate TCs from proliferating pilar tumors.

Lymphangioma is an uncommon benign lesion that usually occurs during childhood. Its occurrence in adults is rare. Its presentation in the abdomen is even rare. This case report describes a case of omental lymphangioma presented as retroperitoneal lump. Subsequent imaging, operative, and histological findings revealed omental lymphangioma. Laparotomy done under general anesthesia, a 10 × 12 cm cystic swelling arising from omentum, identified complete excision of the cyst done and send the specimen for histopathological examination. Biopsy report came as omental lymphangioma. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Prognosis is excellent and recurrence rate is very low if resection is complete. During two years of followup no recurrence was detected. Omental lymphangioma is very rare presentation among abdominal lymphangiomas specifically in adults. Complete excision is the treatment of choice. Long-term followup is required to detect recurrence.
